About Joanne

My passion is to teach students. I teach students of all ages. It warms my heart to see a student grow emotionally, intellectually, physically, and socially. Teaching, also, gives me an idea of what people enjoy reading. I am an avid reader. While teaching, I promote books I have read to my students.Another passion is to write books. I enjoy using characters that my students can relate too.

Joanne. Well, it looks like we have something in common. I like children, [I went to school with them.] I like to involve animals and insects in my books.

Joanne. Well, it looks like we have something in common. I like children, [I went to school with them.] I like to involve animals and insects in my books. By using them I beleave it helps them to mold themselves into a survival mode. Like the book I wrote which has an Ant as the main charactor with a wooden leg and in this story it shows that even insects or animals can still have an interesting life with a disability, plus everything I do comes with a touch of that English humor. Thank you for sharing. Lester

Comment by Marilyn Panton on 2/3/2011 at 4:26 PM:I would love to be your friend Joanne. I too was a teacher/principal and loved to be involved in the evolution of reading with students. Kids are great and so are great books to read to them!

I am not a teacher but I too enjoy teaching children. I teach them to laugh and to change their favorite stories into rhyme. I read my poetry to over a thousand school children a year at the George Bush Presidential Library. My web site, www.familypoet.com has just gone over 200,000 hits and is used... more
